Erics Picture a Week Blog

This is my new site for my 2007 Picture a Week project. In 2006 I moved to a photoblog format and feel very comfortable with it. This site allows me to post more than one picture per week. Of course it tells if I don't keep up with the weekly posting. Also included is the archive for my 2005 Picture a Week project.

Just a regular guy wandering the many paths of life. I'm trying to document part of these travels through my photography and also express my creativity through woodworking and building things.

Week 7


Hummer showed up with their obligatory vertical incline display. I never could figure out the appeal of this vehicle.

Week 7


People were checking out and dreaming of the next hot car they were intent on buying. The luxury cars were always a big draw.

Week 7


I was somewhat baffled by this sign at the front entrance.

This weeks PAW was shot with a 21mm Skopar, 40mm Nokton, and a 90 Tele Elmarit. I also tried out Fuji Neopan 1600 in Xtol, but was not happy with the results. The mixture of light sources and high contrast lighting didn't help the situation either.

Week 5 Trees


My last couple outings seems to have concentrated on tree shots. This stand always has a way to draw my attention.
